Missionary Kaleigh O'Connor DONATE Hey y’all! For the last three years I participated in YWAM’s Discipleship Training School [DTS] and leadership training in Kona, a discipleship program that equips young adults to go out into the nations to spread the gospel and share how God has changed our lives. The first half of the training each year was our Lecture Phase—with classes and a focus on worship and interceding for nations and people groups. The second half of our training was the Outreach Phase. After completing YWAM leadership training in the fall of 2023, it was my honor to serve as a staff member for the first Brave Love Discipleship Training School. Brave Love is an all-women’s ministry. It is a growing movement and network of women seeking to awaken other women to their deep significance and purpose in God. I was able to disciple young women from 2024 to 2026, and lead teams to Africa and Fiji. This past spring I completed Principles of Redeeming Culture School and will be joining Island Breeze Ministries for the foreseeable future. Island Breeze International is an impactful ministry that has been sharing the gospel through the arts and culture since it was established in 1980. We're not "bringing Jesus" anywhere rather, we are "discovering Him" everywhere! We use beautiful cultural expressions and Polynesian dance to tell Bible stories and share the gospel in ways that reach indigenous people. Island Breeze is a large ministry with many facets, one of which is the responsibilty for teaching the Principles of Redeeming Culture School through the University of the Nations in Hawaii, South Africa, and New Zealand. I am stepping into the role of a full-time missionary, and I will need people to walk along- side to offer support. Would you prayerfully consider supporting me financially or in prayer as I follow the Lord's calling for these next steps? Words can’t express how grateful I am for all the love, prayers, and support I’m receiving to pursue the calling God placed on my life! I appreciate y'all so much! Kaleigh Donate
- Jaiden Harris
Missionary Jaiden Harris DONATE I have an awesome opportunity to grow in my faith and share the Gospel both across the nation and internationally. Recently, I was accepted into a 6-month Discipleship Training School (DTS) with an organization called Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Kona, Hawaii. God has opened the door for me to be trained, equipped, and sent out to make Him known around the world. For the first 3 months, I'll be learning how to hear God's voice, deepen my understanding of Scripture, grow in my identity, and be prepared to serve others. The training includes ministry nights, outreach in the local community, and living life alongside people who are hungry for more of God. The second half of the program is focused on international outreach, where I'll travel with a team to serve and share the love of Jesus with people across the globe. We'll minister to both spiritual and practical needs in areas where the Gospel is needed most. YWAM is a missions organization dedicated to knowing God and making Him known. The Endeavor track I'll be part of is designed to help young people like me live boldly for Jesus and be activated into real, world-changing ministry. Because this is a volunteer-based ministry, everyone involved raises support. If you'd like to partner with me on this journey — whether through prayer, encouragement, or financial giving — I would be incredibly grateful. Thank you so much for your support and for being part of what God is doing in and through me! Jaiden Donate
- Evan Jakubowski
Missionary Evan Jakubowski DONATE Hi friends! My name is Evan Jakubowski :) I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota and I've been a missionary for the better part of 4 years now! Jesus radically delivered me from a life of addiction and called me into a life of missions when I was 19 years old. I did my first Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Brisbane, Australia through Youth With A Mission (YWAM) back in 2019. The love of God completely changed my life while I was there; gripping my heart for missions and lighting a fire in me to pursue the Lord with everything I've got, sharing His transformative unconditional love and leading as many people into relationship with Him as I can! I went back to serve with YWAM for a few more years, staffing DTS's, mentoring students, leading outreaches, organising ministries, and much more. I was able to see and be a part of many miraculous healings, many people giving their lives to the Lord, freedom and restoration in families and communities, and many many lives being touched and transformed all by the unmatchable power and love of Jesus! I now believe God is calling me to attend Lifestyle Christianity University (LCU) before I serve with YWAM again. LCU is an equipping program/ministry school designed to disciple you in your God-given identity and equip you to extend the love of Jesus in your day-to-day life. I will be learning how to better share the love of God everywhere I go and with everyone that I meet, making my faith a lifestyle. A lifestyle of generosity, a lifestyle of ministry and helping those in need, a lifestyle of evangelism, a lifestyle of Holy Spirit power and ushering in encounters with a loving miraculous God, and a lifestyle of selfless sacrificial love for those around me. I will be learning a lot, but I will also be a part of many mercy ministries and evangelistic ministries. I will be ministering to people nearly everywhere I go on a daily basis (hence making it a lifestyle). My hope in doing this school is to take everything that God teaches me and instills in me during this season and apply it in future missions both locally and overseas in the years to come. My heart is to represent Jesus in the best way that I can to this lost and dying world, being a conduit for Him to flow through to bring hope, healing, freedom, redemption, restoration, life, and joy! I believe He wants to do this through all of us. I believe He wants to do this through YOU! I encourage you to say "yes" to Him and the leading of His Spirit, to take a step of faith in loving people and to allow Jesus to bring the change through you that you hope to see in this world! If you'd like to be a part of what God is doing in and through my life and to partner with me in seeing Jesus transform this world through His power, love, and good news of the gospel, then I please ask that you prayerfully consider supporting me in my missions financially and/or prayerfully. May we all live our lives worthy of the price that He paid! Thank you and God bless you! Evan :) Donate
- Kole Damkoehler
Missionary Kole Damkoehler DONATE Hi friends! My name is Kole Damkoehler, and I currently serve as a missionary with Circuit Riders. Throughout my four years in college, God continually burdened my heart to see this generation reached with the love of Jesus. I saw firsthand how many students were searching for purpose, identity, and hope, and I became convinced that the gospel is the only answer. Circuit Riders is a mission’s movement that exists to reach this generation by saving the lost, reviving the saved, and training them all. Through evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development, we partner with local churches and campuses to see students become lifelong followers of Jesus. I had the privilege of spending my first year after college serving as a tour leader in New England. Alongside my co-leaders, I coordinated with hundreds of students, pastors, and local leaders to lead a team of 13 missionaries on a two-month outreach across the region. Together, we hosted worship nights, evangelism trainings, leadership gatherings, and ministry events at more than 20 universities, encouraging students to boldly follow Jesus and become leaders on their own campuses. This past year has only deepened my conviction that God has called me to this work. Time and again, I have experienced His faithfulness and His invitation to step out in greater faith. Because of that, I have committed to another year with Circuit Riders, where I will continue leading teams of young adults as we bring the gospel to high schools and college campuses across the nation. I believe God is moving powerfully among this generation, and I am humbled to be a small part of what He is doing. As a missionary with Circuit Riders, I raise my own financial support so that I can dedicate myself fully to reaching students, training leaders, and serving wherever God opens doors. Every prayer strengthens me spiritually, and every financial gift helps make it possible for students to hear the gospel, attend outreach events, and encounter the transforming love of Jesus. I would be honored to have you join my support team. By praying faithfully and partnering financially, you become an active part of every conversation, every campus reached, every student discipled, and every life changed by the gospel. Thank you for considering investing in what God is doing through this ministry. I am incredibly grateful for your partnership, and I look forward to seeing how God uses us together to make His name known among this generation. Kole Donate
- Tatum Hayward
Missionary Tatum Hayward DONATE Hi, my name is Tatum Hayward, I’m partnering with BASIC College Ministries to serve college students and local churches through worship, discipleship, and evangelism. My heart is to see young people encounter Jesus in a real and personal way, and I’m passionate about creating spaces where students can experience the presence of God and grow in confidence in their relationship with Him. I believe worship is more than music; it is an opportunity for people to know Jesus personally and walk in freedom. Through BASIC College Ministries, I’ll be traveling to different college campuses to help lead worship and serve at ministry gatherings and outreach events. This will include leading worship on campuses, helping lead trainings, serving through behind-the-scenes administrative work, and helping put on their biannual conference. I also have a passion for helping people learn how to confidently share their faith and live boldly for Jesus in everyday life. Whether through worship, prayer, conversations, or serving the local church, my desire is simply to point people toward Jesus and help others encounter His love in a genuine way. As I step into this season of ministry, I’m building a team of prayer and financial partners to help make this calling possible. I am specifically looking for financial supporters to help cover travel, ministry expenses, and living costs while serving in full-time ministry. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me this year through monthly support or a one-time gift? Thank you so much for your prayers and support. I truly couldn’t do this without you.

David is originally from the UK and first came to South Africa to attend a Discipleship School with FFSA.

- Gina Seaman
MISSIONARY Gina Seaman DONATE Hi! My name is Gina Seaman, and I am a full-time worker serving with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Asia. I am committed to seeing every Nation and every tribe know God and make Him known. My heart is to be able to connect others to the heart of God and lead them to cultivate a deep relationship with their creator. And extend that to the lost and unreached in the Nations to fulfill the Great Commission. (Matthew 28:16-20). We want to raise laid-down lovers who see Him rightly and carry a lovesickness for The King. The question is ... Who Will Go? Every believer has a role to play to be a part and contribute to this command in the way the Lord has equipped us. Because we are a body we need every part to do its job for it to function properly. I need monthly financial partners and committed prayer partners to keep me sustained as a worker. I would be honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me to help ignite a generation into being catalysts that will touch the world. I long to see captives set free and every person fully alive living in their full identity as sons and daughters of The King! May Jesus receive the reward for His suffering in Asia! Gina Donate
- The Ciriaco Family
Missionary The Ciriaco Family DONATE Missionaries to China For more than 25 years, our family has been serving Jesus in cross-cultural missions, and for the past several years God has called us to China—a nation of more than 1.4 billion people where millions have little or no opportunity to hear the gospel. We are passionate about seeing lives transformed through the love of Christ and equipping believers to become disciple-makers who impact their communities and the nations. We believe that China is not only a mission field but also one of God’s strategic mission forces to reach the world. Our ministry focuses on planting and strengthening local churches, developing small groups, discipling believers, and training Christian leaders through discipleship schools, leadership development, and Bible teaching. We also invest in university students, families, business professionals, and international communities, helping them grow into mature followers of Jesus who will make disciples wherever God sends them. Through partnerships with churches and mission organizations, we are committed to raising a new generation of leaders who will carry the gospel throughout Asia and beyond. Serving long-term in China requires perseverance, flexibility, and faith. Along with the daily work of ministry, we navigate the unique challenges of living cross-culturally, raising our family overseas, maintaining legal residency, and responding to new opportunities God continually opens. Every changed life, every new believer, every leader trained, and every church strengthened is possible because faithful partners stand with us through prayer and financial support. We would be honored to invite you to become part of this mission. Your prayers sustain us, open doors, and strengthen us for the work God has called us to do. Your financial partnership enables us to remain on the field, train leaders, care for people, and continue advancing the gospel in one of the world’s most strategic mission fields. Together, we can see lives transformed, disciples multiplied, and the Kingdom of God expanded throughout China and beyond The Ciriaco Family Donate
- Graham Family
Missionary Graham Family DONATE Welcome to the Graham Family mission. Scott, Megan, and Leila joined YWAM in 2017, doing their DTS in Kona, Hawaii. Since then God has done a lot with them. After DTS, they stayed in Kona for another 18 months to train coaches in evangelism through fitness, built a new gym facility, built container classrooms for the campus, discipled students through building management, and took a Discipleship Bible Course, where Megan studied and read through the Bible in 3 months. At the end of those 18 months, God called them to Potchefstroom, South Africa to join Fire and Fragrance South Africa to build out a program called Respect The Corners, which is a ministry that uses CrossFit, sport and fitness to share the Gospel, make disciples, and assists in Bible distribution in hard to reach closed nations. The Grahams have now been in South Africa for 5 years, training coaches, building a CrossFit Gym to facilitate coaches training, distributing audio Bibles, 840 to-date, and assisting in Bible training for other missionaries in YWAM. Our heart and goal is to train and send CrossFit gyms and coaches into the 10/40 window to reach the last, the lost, and the least that have never heard the Gospel. CrossFit coaches have the ability to get into closed nations and build organic relationships with local people, which builds paths for the Gospel to be shared. Gyms give us the ability to distribute Bibles to those locations that are hard to reach and off the radar. Would you consider being a part of training and sending missionaries to those closed nations that need the Gospel, and aiding in sending Bibles to those that have no access to them and have not heard the Gospel? We would love to have you on our team. Donate
